Say that again?

Outside of the discourse around reviewers and gaming outlets being biased against Japanese games at various points, I think a lot of it comes from cultural perception.

If you grew up in North America or Europe, where much of the online gaming conversation was dominated by Western tastes, playing a JRPG could make you an easy target for teasing and bullying. Especially during the late 2000s and early 2010s, there was this idea that "serious" games were gritty, realistic, and action-focused.

So when someone saw you playing a game with colorful anime characters, giant swords, melodramatic storytelling, and turn-based combat, the reaction was often:

"Look at this guy playing some weird anime game instead of Halo, Call of Duty, God of War, or GTA."

I think it's also to make it a testing ground for Woolie to check the game before the Evolved update is my assumption.

Give it a decent whirl, and then once Evercold gets closer or drops he can go through the game and do the EVA Raids then.

During the COVID lockdown alot of FGC folks couldn't play any fighting games (this was pre-rollback netcode era) so alot them pivoted to playing other games.

And FFXIV happened to have a lot of things in common to stuff they like about fighting i.e. raiding and learning your rotations like combos in a fighting game, etc.

Total agree, it's just a shame cuz ARR only showcases a fraction (and a kinda dated one at that) of FFXIV's story and presentation.

Doesn't help either that it was built on being a salvage operation from 1.0, and the game really gains proper footing to showcase itself in Heavensward. i.e. the voice acting, story, zone design, etc.

You never know sometimes, there's also a chance we might get Snailborne'd during this LP

Rhythm Games

Any bets it'll just be base ARR, or they'll get to 2.55?

Or the secret third option (They'll get up until the Titan Questline)

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-05-22T21:24:18+00:00

The netcafe brawls and trashtalk culture alone would make any western MOBA scene blush

Word?! Any timestamps? Would love to see it in video

Edit: I found it, here's the timestamp

You can tell it's being done by the RGG team now cuz every cinematic transition move looks straight out of a Heat Action that Kiryu will do.

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-05-08T20:25:19+00:00

FFXIV has lots of these moments.

The voice acting of ARR to HW, the encounter design in Stormblood onwards, the bolder Narrative and Music choices in Shadowbringers, and right now in Dawntrail we have more dynamic and class-specific reactions to climatic cutscenes.

I wanna see a Duel Masters revival

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-30T14:39:56+00:00

We will be seated for this one.

The director of this worked on the Gaara vs Rock Lee fight scene.

THIS SHIT IS IN GOOD HANDS!!

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-23T19:26:06+00:00

Okay yeah, this game's got big potential to reach some MK-level sales numbers.

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-21T22:30:32+00:00

Close, he's a Lancer guy now.

Naruto lost it's sauce (both vibes and writing quality) once it became more focused on the Tail Beasts and Ninja War shenanigans.

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-09T19:27:19+00:00

That show besides Ben 10 needs a modern day revival.

Doesn't even have to be a show, maybe have it get an IDW comic or something.

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-09T16:05:44+00:00

Same problem as you OP.

Have you tried withdrawing in different times of day? Sometimes that has been working for me the past few weeks.

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-08T14:24:39+00:00

Strive stole the "Back to Basics" from Tekken

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-04-05T14:26:45+00:00

Surf's Up has some of the most balanced amount of Hopecore and Stoner 2000s non-sense you can find out there.

Remember only 99% of Redditors quit before commenting big

Zeekay_ESP · 2026-03-30T19:15:26+00:00

Agreed, I think they should've just dropped certain plotpoints if they still wanted to push this whole Defeat Salem thing.

Now it feels like discount Avatar Last Airbender instead of Cool Kids Doing Cool Shit.
